Pros

State Street is a great organization to join out of college, providing much needed exposure to a corporate setting. They have an impressive array of technology and a user friendly in-house operating system. The benefits are solid with ample vacation time.

Cons

There is very little room for advancement. Office politics play a pivotable role in advancing. Hard work is not rewarded, as management's goal seems to be keeping that person in their current position to make their own work easier. The day to day is very redundant which hinders career development.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
